    The dip at 3.8k and the peak at 6k are pretty severe. A 20 db rise within half an octave.

    Far from OW target + peak looks painful.

      As you can see in this posting, I already measured a MDR-EX1000, in collaboration with CYMBACAVUM.
      You can check the link to CYMBACAVUM at [10. Comparison ].

    One of the first 'high-end' IEMs that I've owned, I was satisfied with the sound but I remember it being overly sibilant. Unfortunately while I owned them I wasn't exactly a trained listener, I wish I could revisit it now.

      Unfortunately I heard that it's discontinued these days. Now it's time to take it to the next level!

    Could you share EQ settings for a 10 band equilizer to approximate the ex1000 to the Olive Welti target?
